I teach college English, and in my rhetoric courses, I encourage skepticism about almost everything students face in their daily lives: claims made by politicians, religious beliefs, even the ideas presented in classrooms by smug professors. Chuck Klosterman’s But What if We’re Wrong? (Blue Rider Press, 2016) takes this notion much further by questioning things most consider beyond reproach, like the concept of gravity. One section imagines the writer that future generations will regard as the literary genius that defines our era. Will it be a current favorite like Roth or Franzen, or will it be a Kafkaesque unknown who’s currently sharing his work on the dark web?  Klosterman’s views are interesting and worth considering. —René Martínez
